Electronic Work Instructions Aid Quality

摘要

Manufacturing engineers often identify themselves providing two primary functions: keeping production moving and writing and maintaining work instructions. Quality control is often a wrench in the works. Defects that remain unidentified until production commences not only can shut down lines, but produce unacceptable time lags for rework. Quality control managers then must integrate new data and procedures and work with multiple partners, including the beleaguered manufacturing engineers, to integrate the changes into drawings, quality manuals and new work instructions.
